Tomatoes in 10 Minutes

If the tomatoes in your garden grow in abundance, or you just can’t resist them at the farmers’ market, these 10-minute recipes will inspire you to use your fresh tomatoes in everything from tomato stacks and sides to salads, dressings, and a no-cook pasta sauce.

Slices of ripe tomato are sprinkled with cheesy, herb-flecked breadcrumbs and then quickly run them under the broiler until the crumbs are browned and crisp. They make a great pairing with grilled or broiled steak or chicken.

This summery relish is reminiscent of Sicilian caponata, minus the eggplant and anchovies. It’s great with grilled seafood (think sardines, swordfish, or scallops) or just served over slices of grilled bread.
